Explosive Sonnata

Ricard nonchalantly walked away from a large business building, it exploded in a huge fireball, rustling his trench coat and outlining his image in black he merely smiled to himself

Stephen began to contain the fire with his energy by capturing the fire in a dome, he began to compress it, until eventually the fires no longer existed....Stephen was found floating in the sky high above the flames...

Vicious scowled "damn goody two shoes, ruining my masterpiece" he stalked off, his feelings of anger emanating through the air

Stephen teleported to his front side, he stood with his arms crossed before him..."More scum enters my city?"

"scum? i am far from the petty purse snatcher's and psychotic killer's, my crimes are works of art, life is a dream, death is awakening, i am merely assisting people in opening their eyes, and showing those i cannot the beauty of awakening" he said, his scowl lifting, but no smile appearing on his face

"Each one of you have a reason for your terrible acts...And each of them make less sense each time..." Stephen slid into a fighting position..."Death is not something that should be given by man...It is a natural process...We all die eventually...But no one has the right to intervene and end some ones life...You will be defeated...All criminals in this world will be as long as the air flows through my lungs..."

"you say i make no sense, yet you deem yourself ample enough to defeat every villain in the world, anyone who thinks they are that powerful are fools and idiots, i hold no false precepts that i will end the dream of all those who walk the earth. What is justice? you say you fight for good, but what is good? because the majority of the population decides that something is not right does it make it so? millions of people believe in Christianity, does that mean God must therefore be real? the same goes for Islam's, Jew's, Buddhists, because people say something is wrong does not make it true" he slid his pistol out "the world is not black and white, your living a dream, and i shall awaken you" he laughed "i will awaken someday, but not by you, the only one who can truly open my eyes is Spike, so as you believe you are doing good because it is what you think is true, i believe i will not die today because this is what i believe is true"

"You are right...You will not die today...I would never kill a man..." Stephen began to gather energy in his palms..."But I will beat them to a pulp..."

Vicious closed the distance between them quickly, firing off three rounds, he took note of the mans warping abilities

Stephen placed a wall of energy in front of him to deflect the bullets. He then waited for him to get closer to unleash the attack.

"Stephen, why must you bring down all villains" he said with a scowl in his human form sitting on a nearby car top.

Vicious somersaulted over the barrier and landed next to Stephen, he threw a punch then attempted a leg sweep

Stephen managed to duck from the punch but lost his footing from the sweep and hit the ground, he quickly rolled over and blasted him with a wave of energy.

Vicious flew back, turning his fall into a back flip he fired another three shots at Stephen and again closed the distance

Stephen ran forward at him, deflecting the bullets as they came...
